The Surtees Racing Organisation was a race team that spent nine seasons (1970 to 1978) as a constructor in Formula One, Formula 2, and Formula 5000.

The team was formed by John Surtees, a four-time 500cc motorcycle champion and the 1964 Formula One champion in 1966 to compete in the newly formed Canadian-American Challenge Cup (CanAm) "unlimited" sports car racing series. Entering as an owner/driver, Surtees won the championship in its first year, driving a Lola T70.

Surtees also fielded an entry in another newly formed series in 1969, becoming part of Formula 5000 after taking over a project started by Len Terry and Roger Nathan,^[1] and his team constructed its own cars for the first time. His team was successful, winning five races, consecutively at Mondello Park,^[2] Koksijde,^[3] Zandvoort,^[4] Snetterton^[5] and Hockenheim,^[6] during a twelve race season.^[7]
